The sixth, seventh and eighth grade band, orchestra and choir performed at Middle School North’s Music Assembly on December 19. Principal Robert Collins kicked off the event by reminding the audience about the dedication that goes into students reaching their personal best on their instruments. Among the pieces the orchestra performed was “Ludwig’s Tango.”

Fourth grade students got a chance to play instruments from drums to saxophones at Hawthorn’s instrument fair. Many took their first steps toward becoming dedicated members of the District’s band or orchestra.
